Chapter 326: A Surprising Discovery
Seeing Lin Haotian and seeing that he didn't bring any entourage, just a lonely person, Song Yu was stunned at first, but he still bowed down and said, "My lord!"
"En!" Lin Haotian nodded, stretched out his hand to help Song Yu up, looked at him, and saw that his eyes were blue and red, obviously he hadn't been able to sleep well for a few days.
He sighed secretly in his heart and asked, "Song Yu, how many soldiers are currently sick?"
Song Yuchui said: "There are at least 20,000 brothers. ”
"En!" Lin Haotian nodded again, walked into the barracks, and said at the same time: "Let's go, go in and have a look." ”
When the soldiers who were waiting for the sick saw that the king was coming, people knelt on the ground to salute, Lin Haotian waved his hand to everyone, signaling everyone to get up, and then his eyes fell on the people on the bed.
Some of the people were pale, some were red, and their bodies were covered with thick quilts, and they were all shivering, moaning, and coughing from time to time.
"My lord, what kind of disease is this, how can it still be cured and can't be cured?" Song Yu followed behind Lin Haotian, anxious.
Lin Haotian didn't answer, read it from beginning to end, and walked out of the barracks silently.
When he got outside, he turned back to Song Yu and said, "This is ...... Plague!" Although it was difficult to speak, Lin Haotian had to tell Song Yu the truth.
When Song Yu heard this, his body shook suddenly, and he stood in place, stunned.
Lin Haotian continued: "And it is also a very contagious plague, even if there is no physical contact, just a little closer, there is a possibility of being infected. This plague has no medicine to prevent and cure, and once infected by it, the dead ...... A hundred to one. ”
These words made Song Yu's heart sink to the bottom in an instant. His body was also trembling slightly.
Lin Haotian sighed: "I didn't expect that the You Yan Coalition would use such vicious methods. Now, our army can only retreat and abandon Twin Peaks, however, your department is seriously infected. In order to prevent the plague from spreading throughout the army and the whole country, I must leave you and these infected brethren behind. ”
With this, he let out a long 'sigh', and walked forward with his hands behind his back and his heavy and aimless steps.
He walked away for a long distance, Song Yu came back from the shock, he quickly caught up with Lin Haotian, and asked in a trembling voice, "So to speak." I...... These more than 60,000 people in our department must stay in Twin Peaks?"
"Yes!" Lin Haotian didn't look back, and he couldn't bear to look back at Song Yu's expression at this time. He said ruthlessly: "Including General Song Yu!"
After a pause, he stopped, looked up at the sky, and whispered, "You still have unfinished business, just tell it now." ”
Song Yu's cheeks twitched, finally. He chuckled, shook his head and said, "I haven't been in the army for a long time. But I have already given my life to the country and to my lords, and it is our honor to die on the battlefield, and my lordship can rest assured that even if I and these more than 60,000 brothers fight to the last man, we will never lay down our arms against the enemy. I'm not going to run away, I'm ...... There are no unfulfilled wishes. ”
Lin Haotian was very moved, and when he turned around, his eyes were already red.
He grabbed the armor on Song Yu's shoulder and said, "But there is still a way." I wouldn't have made such a decision if there was a chance. ”
Song Yu nodded again and again, and responded: "My lord, the last general understands! The last general's kindness to the last general's acquaintance is unforgettable! This time the main force of our army wants to retreat, and someone also needs to stay behind the palace to drag the enemy army...... It's also my general's negligence, adults don't blame the last general, the last general is already grateful......" Speaking of this, Song Yu choked up and couldn't continue.
After Lin Haotian heard this, his heart became more and more sour.
Song Yu is a general selected by himself through the Nawu Order, young and promising, and has always been loyal to himself. Now if you really want to abandon him, Lin Haotian's heart is twisted, as he said, as long as there is a way, he will not do it.
He grabbed Song Yu's hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, I will take your family back to Wancheng and take good care of ......"
Hearing this, Song Yu knelt on his knees and said, "Thank you, my lord!"
Of the more than 60,000 soldiers, not all of them were infected with the plague, but the plague had an incubation period, it could be a day or even less than a day, or it could be three days or even more later.
On the other side, the Jin army was ready to abandon Twin Peaks City and withdraw the main force, which was somewhat expected by the You Yan coalition army.
At this time, it was already the middle of the month, and the wind that broke Jinkou was greatly reduced, and the You Yan coalition army secretly sent 300,000 soldiers to enter the Shangxing Mountain at night.
The 300,000 soldiers were divided into two parts, and their tasks were different.
A part is the 200,000 You army led by Nie Lin, and their target is not the Jin army, but the Jin capital Wancheng, because of the long journey, the 200,000 people are lightly armed.
The other part is the 100,000 You Yan coalition army led by Yang Jie, the general of the Yan army, whose goal is Shuangfeng City, go around to the back of Shuangfeng City, and sneak attack in the rear, which can also cut off the retreat of the main force of the Jin army.
The tactics of the You Yan coalition army were to trap all the Jin army in Twin Peaks and annihilate them all.
It is impossible to cross the mountain in the middle of the night, the forest in the mountain is too luxuriant, the body is like it, the five fingers cannot be seen, there is no road in the mountain, it is impossible to walk in the dark, and there is no reference object, if the torch is lit, the target is too big, and it is easy to be exposed, so 300,000 people take advantage of the night to enter the ascending mountain and temporarily settle down, ready to wait for dawn to cross the mountain.
The 300,000 You Yan coalition troops stayed in the mountains for one night, and waited until the early morning of the next day, entered the depths of the mountains and forests, and were led by the medicine farmers, and secretly climbed the ascending mountain from the broken golden mouth.
In Ren Tianxing and Chu Chen's thoughts, it was impossible for the Jin army to plant a guard post in the mountain, and it was impossible for their own mountain crossing to be discovered by the Jin army.
But people are not as good as heaven, and everything is a coincidence.
The Jin army was indeed unaware of the action of the You Yan coalition army to climb the ascending mountain, and did not arrange any eyeliner into the mountain, but this morning, a quarrying team organized by the people of the Jin country was quarrying in the mountain.
During this time, in order to resist the attack of the enemy, the Jin army had a serious consumption of stone bullets fired by stone throwing machines and supply trebuchets, and the people of Jin near Shuangfeng City spontaneously entered the mountains to collect stones to fill the needs of the city defense of Shuangfeng City.
Among the people, there are several young and strong young people into the mountain very deep, looking for a new quarrying point, people are sitting on the ground to rest and talk, suddenly heard a rumbling footsteps in front of them, several young people do not know what is going on, curiously climb to a high rock, pick their feet and look.
At this look, several people were taken aback, only to see that the mountain streams in the depths of the mountains were densely packed with people, some were wearing steel helmets and steel armor, and some were wearing brown leather armor, due to the number of people, the team could not see the edge at a glance, but the other party did not play the flag, and several young people of the Jin Kingdom did not move the army of which country this was for a while.
It took them a long time to come to their senses, and one of the young men muttered, "Strange, when did your lord send your army into the mountains?" Could it be that we don't have enough stones to collect, so you have mobilized a large army to quarry?"
"How is it possible? If you want to quarry, how can you not even have a cart to load stones?"
"Could that be an ambush in the mountains?"
"It's even more impossible, looking at the direction of the march, it is out of the mountain, not into the mountain. ”
A few people, you say a word, I say a word, and I don't understand what this army is going on for a long time.
It was only at this time that a young man suddenly gasped and said in surprise: "No! My Dajin army is all black helmets and black armor, but how can the other party be steel helmets and steel armor......?
"Is it the enemy?" said another young man.
They were ordinary people, who had not participated in the city defense battle, nor had they seen You Jun and Yan Jun, but the strange armor on the other party aroused their vigilance.
Several young people's bodies were shocked, and they fell to the ground almost at the same time, looked at each other, and without saying a word, they all slid down the high stone, turned their heads and ran back.
When they ran back to the foot of the mountain, several young men shouted to the hundreds of people quarrying around them: "Run! The enemy has crossed the mountain and killed them." ”
As soon as the people heard this, their faces changed greatly, and they threw away their tools one after another, scattered in a hurry, shouting and fleeing in the direction of Twin Peaks City, reporting to the defenders of the city. (To be continued......)
